商品描述: With this volume, Alan Taylor challenges the traditional storyof colonial history by examining the many cultures that helped makeAmerica. Transcending the usual Anglocentric version of ourcolonial past, he recovers the importance of Native Americantribes, African slaves, and the rival empires of France, Spain, theNetherlands, and even Russia in the colonization of North America.Moving beyond the Atlantic seaboard to examine the entirecontinent, American Colonies reveals a pivotal period in theglobal interaction of peoples, cultures, plants, animals, andmicrobes. In a vivid narrative, Taylor draws upon cutting-edgescholarship to create a timely picture of the colonial worldcharacterized by an interplay of freedom and slavery, opportunityand loss.

"Compelling, readable, and fresh, American Colonies isperhaps the most brilliant piece of synthesis in recent Americanhistorical writing." (Phillip J. Deloria, associate professor ofhistory and American culture, University of Michigan)
